Jan 29, 2025Relaxing week in the sun
Travelled with my sister for a week away from winter. Overall, I would rate the resort 4 stars. Our room was clean, but not updated, and some finishes were hastily done (poor painting/caulking in the bathroom, makeshift handle on sliding door). The beds were comfortable and we opted for ceiling fan over air conditioning and that kept the room very comfortable. We were always supplied with towels, bottled water and coffee pouches. The first few days were very quiet, with not many poolside activities. Stretching, dance lessins and crazy games were in the beach. I personally think it would be a good idea for the entertainment team to make announcements by the pool when activities are about to begin on the beach, to get more people involved. There is a schedule by the towel hut, and you can scan a code and have it on your device. We didn't have issues finding pool chairs, even though resort seemed to fill up as it got closer to the weekend. Food at the buffet is typical for a 4 star AI. Do not rely on staff to bring you coffee or a refill, even if you ask in Spanish. There are coffee machines. Lunch at Las Brisas is a 2 minute walk from the adult pool and is a much smaller setting, with nicer views. (Also buffet for lunch). A la carte dinners exceeded my expectations in taste, presentation and service. I do wish that there would not be ashtrays on the tables to allow for smoking on the terrace of the restaurants. Non smokers also want to enjoy their meal without second hand cigar and cigarette smoke. More defined smoking and non smoking areas should have signage. If you happen to get pool chairs in between smokers....or want to enjoy a show at night...the smokers just sat where the very few tiny non smoking signs were and disregarded other guests' comfort. The white powdery beach is great for walks, relaxing, participating in activities and enjoying the breeze. The ocean was warm and safe to swim. Shows started too late for us...10pm at the adult and family side. We liked the rock band and Michael Jackson show.

Excellent choice for a relaxing warm weather escape
This is a great choice for a relaxing vacation. Beautiful fully equipped complex. The adult side is quiet. Things we liked: the pool and beach were great and not too crowded even with the hotel full. It wasn't too hard to get dinner reservations. Everything was clean and service was generally good. We got a deal through Costco with a great price of about $220/night all inclusive; it's a great value at that price. We didn't have any major concerns about the food. Things that could be better: the rooms were dated; we had some broken drawers and a not very cold fridge; these didn't get fixed. The staff is more focused on keeping everything going than on resolving individual issues. We were harrassed late at night by a restaurant manager who forget to have us sign a ticket, even though we said we would take care of it the next day. My wife had some digestive illness the last day, not sure what caused that.

Overall, the hotel was nice with many restaurants and pools to choose from. The Palace side was much nicer and updated than the Beach side.

Beach sun and relaxation awaits
The staff is wonderful. Our room was in building #1 and was newly renovated so it was great. The beach on the Adult side is quiet and beautiful. The pools on the Family side are majestic. Highly recommend the Mexican restaurant and the Hibachi. Martinis at the lobby bar on the adult side were the best! If you can check in with Beatriz when you arrive- she took care of everything for us. If you have any questions or concerns talk to the Manager Frankie and he will make sure it’s taken care of right away. We have seen some bad reviews but definitely not our experience. If you are looking for beach, sun and relaxation- this is your place.
